Jeff, Ahhhh...I guess it would help if I turned on the command line column in the task manager, huh?...Since it's not on by default, that was throwing me off. Many thanks!

Jeff, How can I find the associated PID for a ArcGIS Server service...? Do I have to scour the logs, or is there an easier way? Thanks!

I believe there's a bug in the Web AppBuilder developer edition. When a feature service layer has labels applied to it (create labels with AGOL, not labels are part of the map service) within the referenced AGOL webmap, the Edit Widget in WAB will not recognize any feature services. If labels are not applied to any feature services within the AGOL web map, the Edit Widget in WAB will work. I also believe this is specific to the developer edition of WAB. If I use the WAB from AGOL on the same web map, and feature services have labels created, the AGOL WAB will work.

I'm using WAB developer edition v1.1. I have an AGOL web map that contains 6 feature service layers as well as 2 map services. Within AGOL I can edit all the feature services. However, when I select the same AGOL web map to be used in WAB and I go to configure the Edit widget, the Edit widget says 'No editable feature layers are available'. Ideas for why this is...? My feature services are non-versioned. ArcGIS Server is 10.3. feature service SDE is 10.3, SQL Server 2014. Thanks in advance!

Robert, Is there any plan to incorporate word-wrapping in the pop-up results, or is there such a feature and I'm glossing over it? Some of our fields can be rather verbose and while scrolling to the right isn't the end of the world, it's not desired. When there are links within the pop-up as well this is compounded because the user needs to scroll to the right in order to view the link icons since they are centered in the pop-up result. I am using v1.1.8 Thanks!

Ryan, I found the ArcREST toolbox on GitHub to be a good resource for this. It provides a wizard driven interface to create and delete users. Using ModelBuilder you can create a model using the 'Create a User' or 'Delete User' script tools. You can then include the model as part of a python script by calling your toolbox and model, which can then be used along with Task Scheduler if you wanted to automate the task at a certain date/time. I've also found the Server Admin toolbox (mentioned above by Blake) to be another good interface driven way of interacting with ArcGIS Server. Below is a screenshot of the tools available in both, with the 'Create User' and 'Delete User' tools highlighted...

We are experimenting with disconnected editing and seem to have run into an issue... Today, after we were done collecting data we performed a sync from our mobile device. Everything shows up fine after the sync, data is within the disconnected version and data can be reconciled and posted to the DEFAULT version without a problem. Our issue though, is that when we un-register all the replicas on the gdb, our sde_versions table is not being cleared out. We still have several sync_send and sync_receive records in the sde_versions table. One of these sync_ records is named 'sync_send_-1_0'. Is there a reason the sde_versions table is not being cleared out when un-registering the replicas? We are unable to delete the disconnected version because of this and therefore we aren't able to perform a full compress of the gdb...records are remaining in the delta tables instead of being pushed to the base table. We are using ArcGIS Server 10.3, Desktop 10.3, and SDE is at 10.3. Thanks in advance!

Our issue has been solved. It was an internal firewall setting that was blocking password protected zip files. I could install Operations Dashboard when outside our network, but only after this setting was disabled on our network could I install it on a machine inside our network.

I'm trying to update Operations Dashboard and am getting the error shown below. I have not downloaded a file, I'm just opening Operations Dashboard and trying to update the existing install. I believe I had a similar issue when originally installing and don't remember how the install finally went through. If I click on 'Details' from the screenshot below, I get the attached log...which to me, doesn't make much sense. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction...? Thanks in advance!

One of our departments has a GPS device with a wired USB connection. They were wondering if when the GPS device is connected to their laptop, will it be possible to have an ArcGIS Online web map use the GPS device's location in order to locate a feature? Has anyone tried this before with success?...is this even possible? Thanks in advance!

Frank, We have a similar setup (details below) where the web map has an editable layer and read-only layers (query and sync only). As mentioned above, we only get this error on iOS devices, not Android. We also have the same behavior, whereas the edits are pushed to the database despite the error. As you mention Frank, it's a little uncomforting to the user, but it does work. Thanks for confirming! Collector 10.3 for iOS ArcGIS Server 10.3 SDE 10.3 ArcGIS Online as the portal

We are testing offline editing with Collector using an iOS device and are receiving an error when trying to sync: 'Sync Error, an error occurred while synchronizing edits. Requested operation is not supported by this service'. We have not had this problem when using Android devices. Is there something different between iOS and Android devices? Is there some sort of setting on the service that needs to be altered to use with iOS? The edits are being posted to the user version, so I'm not really sure why we're getting an error....? We are using Collector 10.3 and ArcGIS Server 10.3

We are starting to test out disconnected editing with the Collector app. Our datasets in SDE are typically versioned, and I've noticed that when going into disconnected editing mode, a new private version is created along with a replica is registered to the sde gdb. We have not done any type of work with distributed geodatabases in the past so I'm looking for some general tips / best practices / advice on how to handle managing disconnected editing / geodatabase replication. I have a few general questions that I'm hoping some people more familiar with geodatabase replication can answer... 1) I'm wondering what is the best practice for keeping data on the mobile device and sde gdb in sync? 2) What processes should run on the data to ensure they are in sync? 3) Are there processes that should be run before I do a reconcile and post on the private version that gets created when data is downloaded for disconnected mode? 4) How can I achieve a full compress on the sde gdb with a registered replica? ... do replicas need to be unregistered in order to achieve a full compress? Like I said, we don't have much, if any, experience with distributed geodatabases, so I'm looking for some best practice workflows to keep data in sync, how to achieve a full compress, etc... Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Sam, How would I be able to delete the sync_send versions using arcpy.DeleteVersion...? Neither arcpy.da.ListVersions nor arcpy.ListVersions shows these as versions within the sde gdb, screenshot below.

‎05-15-2015

Sam, Thanks for providing the link explaining the sync_send and sync_receive versions. Keeping the version around is not a big deal, especially in this gdb we're working with since it's meant for only data collection. Where I'm coming from...our production sde gdb has a nightly script that does the following: reconcile and post versions, delete versions once posted, analyze, compress gdb, rebuild indexes, analyze, recreate departmental edit versions. We delete the versions once posted, so that when they are re-created after the compress, all departmental versions are on the same page starting the day. Given this workflow, disconnected editing kind of throws a wrench into the process because the disconnected versions are children of departmental versions and since they are not deleted until the replica is unregistered, any departmental version will not get deleted because it'll have a child version (the disconnected version). What are common workflows that you've seen or would recommend for disconnected editing?
